Hehe - Dink has also pledged me some of this new stuff, but I'll have to earn it with a subsequent review. Finally, a decent string in red! Hopefully it will address the durability problems of Z62; if it's 90% as powerful with 50% better durability I will consider it a total success. A lot to ask, I know...

i though zm70 is better than bg 65.
but once i played zm62.....
zm62 just great.
no problem to string- too thin, too easy
but durability is the problem need to solve!

Z62 is a stringer's DREAM: thin AND stiff. You can pretty much throw it through shared grommets, it keeps a good point, and it's no effort to weave. The only possible detraction is that knots would fall through grommets that would hold thicker stuff more easily.

Dink's packet didn't get here on time for the tournament, but i did have a ZM67 so i strung that up the day before.

it feels similar to the ZM62 but there are some differences. both my ARC10 are strung @ 23.5/23.5 using the same pattern. the only difference is that i moved the tie-off for the top cross to A13 (or whatever is the other end of B10). both have the same model grip, and same U/G.

- it doesn't have the crispy feel of the ZM62. ZM67 feels a bit more dull. ZM62 is the most crispy string i have tried.
- ZM67 power is slightly higher than ZM62

to me, the ZM67 isn't a ZM62 in 0.67mm. something was lost going from ZM62 to ZM67. the dullness of the ZM67 make it not as good in comparison. it seems that something has been dampened with it. the difference is noticable in A/B comparison.

personally, my recommendation is:

ZM62 for the players who prefers a fast control game. the speed, feel/feedback, and crispiness has no comparison. I love this string for mixed doubles where majority are very fast quick touches and only occasional pin-point smashes.

ZM67 better for the power player who likes fast and hard smashes, and willing to sacrifice some feel in return.
